how to read and discuss stories with infants

Pam Bacot with Reach Out and Read Carolinas spoke to WFMY News 2 about how to Read and Discuss Stories with infants. Her tips include:

  • Find interactive books to read. Tactile books with flaps, mirrors, textures, and sounds help keep babies engaged.
  • Do a “picture walk” and simply talk about the pictures you see and or make up any story you want.
  • Incorporate reading into your child’s bedtime routine. Reading before bed gives your baby a chance to calm down and connect with you.
